Almost three years ago we interviewed Of Montreal's front man, Kevin Barnes. Since that time they've "blown up" as the Hollywood kids might say. A couple of albums, increasingly amazing outfits, and legendary live shows. Lucky you-- they're playing the Regency Grand Ballroom tomorrow night (yah, we didn't know where that was either-- Van Ness and Sutter). You can check out Of Montreal's latest album, Skeletal Lamping, here. Trust us, this show will set you straight for a family filled holiday season. Read on for Barnes's take on touring and our fair city. more ›

Thursday night's Of Montreal show at Bottom of the Hill was a great party, and we enjoyed seeing them at such an intimate venue. When we bought our tickets last month, both Gold Chains and Enon were billed to open the show, both of whom we hadn't heard from in a long time. Enon ended up canceling, and Gold Chains was solely in charge of getting the party started with his new cohort Miss Tiny. more ›
